That is a good link. Notice how they got somewhat of a late start but could be able to reach the seven figure goal in the not so distant future.
Those savings numbers are by no means unattainable here in Japan either. |

Suprised there aren't more comments on this link.
It's food for thought. |

No, not as an EFL teacher unless you are teaching EFL in an International School. International schools are a world apart from most Japanese English Conversation schools. Teachers are trained teachers with degrees in education and appropriate licensing and usually a t least a few years of expereince. They don't teach just EFL but all subjects just like any other school in a English-speaking country. They pay well and their benifits such as free housing, health insurance, repatriation costs and annual tickets to fly back home along with hefty sign up and renewel bonuses (I once met two teachers working in the Phillipines that received $12,000 each to renew their contracts for two years) are, well, incomparable.
It's a nice deal if you can get it... |
